Pixie is an open source observability tool for Kubernetes applications. Pixie automatically collects telemetry data, including full-body requests, resource and network metrics, application profiles, and more. Using Pixie, developers can view the high-level state of their cluster (service maps, cluster resources, application traffic) and also drill down into more detailed views (pod state, flame graphs) without having to modify or redeploy their code.

In this episode, you'll learn about what Pixie is and the internals of how Pixie works to provide its magical experience.
